Need programmer for a small job, or help to do it myself.

I added Hebrew support (keyboard and text recognition) to my xda, and I use also the Citipack Foldable Keyboard. The thing is that the keyboard doesn't work with the hebrew letters. I need someone to write the driver for the keyboard that make it work with the hebrew software keyboard. I have the authorization from PDAC, the firm who sells the Hebrew support to access the codes for their software for this task. if it works well, then citipack keyboards can be imported to Israel (Actually there's no foldable keyboard with hebrew for the pocket pc).
Someone interested in such a thing? Please contact me

Hi
May be also for ARABIC !!! :shock:
Why not ? they are both Bidi ..

yes, why not?
I don't know the arab market and support for PPC, I'm pretty sure the have keyboards enabled.

I would guess the fact that one is Israeli, and also sells Hebrew support probably isn't precisely a selling point in most of the Arab world today, right?

Good effort
I too use Hebrew on my device.

Again, please read the date on the last post before replying.

Simple Right-to-left language solution?

Does one exist?
For example: my phone can see Hebrew letters. However, these letters are displayed backwards when read in Hebrew, it being a right-to-left language.
In english, it would be like getting a text message like this:
?gniod uoy era woH ,!olleH

You can read it backwards, but it gets really annoying with long messages. And it makes it impossible to type long messages as each word has to be thought of backwards.
After installing a Hebrew font, it's no problem seeing the hebrew letters, but their Left-to-right (English) coordination is where it gets confusing.
Mind you, I don't need a Hebrew UI, or Hebrew menus, just the ability for the Hebrew text to display correctly (in the right-to-left direction) so I can send and receive text messages in the language.
Anyone got a clue as to what can solve this?
Thanks in advance.

you don't need to write backwards when writing an sms.
it will be ok when received on a hebrew supporting phone.
(thats the way i've been writing hebrew for monthes now.)
try it yourself and see..

You're right, but the reading part is still a big hassle

Try investigating the arabizer techniques, but change to a Hebrew font...
The OS doesn't natively support Right to Left AFAIK.

How to add native language support?

Hi guys, this is my first thread in XDA!
Been lurking around a bit though the past couple of weeks and let me point out how amazing this community is!
OK so here is my query (sorry if this has been posted here before):
I'm a Swede, living in Sweden. I've ordered the SNS (my first android device so bare with me) from the USA and it should arrive sometime next week.
I know that the phone doesn't come with any support for the Swedish language. My guess is that they just want to make it harder for retailers to grey import the phone to a region where it shouldn't be sold (even though it will be sold in Sweden soon...).
So, is it possible to add support for the Swedish language somehow? (Keyboard, dictionary, system language...etc).
If so, how do I do it? I've seen some keyboard apps (pre-Gingerbread keyboard) for the Swedish language on the market but some of them don't work with Gingerbread and most of them seem to come with a lot of bugs (except for Swype). Also, I would need a dictionary, and the system language is nice but not crucial.
Isn't there a better way?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi, a swede with the NSN here as well
To my knowledge, there are no way to get native swedish language support on the stock rom. The "nödlösning", that actualy works quite well is to use a third party keybord. I'm using Swiftkey, that has a swedish dictionary and swedish text prediction.
But if someone know about a way to get a swedish stock gingerbread keyboard, I would be delighted to hear.

Thanks for the reply
I guess I'll have to use either Swiftkey or Swype. If anyone knows another solution I would be happy to hear it

Arabic support for HTC Wildfire or for android

Hello
I already know there are posts regarding the process I just have questions about the arabic support or rom.
I don't need my phone to get all arabic, no, I just would like it when I receive messages or tweets in arabic language I can see them rather then question marks plus the ability to write in arabic with an arabian keyboard.
my question is what does this process called, like some say arabic rom or something.
what does it called the thing I want? Arabic support?

[Q] arabic support for htc hd7

can i get arabic support for my htc t9292

It complex script language,
so it will develop after mango.
my language too.
Locale ID

i don't think so...MS put so many languages in mango...but i don't think there is any right to left language...like persian...like arabic...
in mangob2 it's like the same before....don't supported right to left languages in web...

Until Microsoft adds official support for it, just use the Arabic Hub app from the marketplace, you'll find it at the bottom of the list of apps though listed as "المحور العربي" (Arabic Hub).

What's in stall for the future post-Mango? John McConnell explains the challenges:
"While I hope you’ll agree that Mango is a step forward, I’m all too aware that there’s still much to do. Two areas we’re working hard to address in future releases are languages with complex scripts and extending services to more markets. Let me briefly explain.
Complex scripts are used to write languages such as Arabic and Hindi, where the displayed character depends on its neighbor (“contextual shaping”), and languages written right-to-left such as Hebrew and Urdu. Many of the controls used in Windows Phone require enhancement to properly display such scripts."
